Abstract

Aim and Objective: Long intergenic non-coding RNA-p21 (lincRNA-p21) plays a critical role in various senescence-associated physiological and pathological conditions. We aimed to explore the senescence-associated effects of lincRNA-p21 in 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) treated neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line as a therapeutic target.

Materials and Methods: The RNA expression levels of lincRNA-p21, p53, p16, and telomere length were examined with reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTqPCR). The Telo TAGGG™ Telomerase PCR ELISA PLUS Kit was used to determine telomerase activity. Cellular viability was evaluated with the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay. Western blot was performed to analyze β-catenin protein expression. Besides, oxidative stress was evaluated by Jaggregate- forming delocalized lipophilic cation, 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'- tetraethylbenzimidazolocarbocyanine++ + iodide (JC‑1) stain, fluorescence spectrophotometry, colorimetric assay, and malondialdehyde (MDA) formation.

Results: This research demonstrated that MPP+ caused a distinct increase in the expression of LincRNA- p21 in SH-SY5Y cells. MPP+ induced cellular senescence with decreasing cellular proliferation and viability, increasing expression levels of senescence-associated makers such as genes p53 and p16, accompanied by significantly decreasing telomere length and telomerase activity. At the same time, these effects were abolished by silencing lincRNA-p21 with small interfering RNA (siRNA). On the contrary, β-catenin silencing contributes to reversing anti-senescent effects caused by lincRNA-p21 silencing. Moreover, modifying lincRNA-p21 exerted an anti-senescent influence depending on decreasing oxidant stress.

Conclusion: Our study showed that in the treatment of MPP+, lincRNA-p21 might serve a role in the SH-SY5Y cell senescence by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, as well as increasing oxidant stress. Thus, trying to target lincRNA-p21 may have important therapeutic and practical implications for PD.
